I have WinXP install in virtualbox which host in Linux. I have a TP-Link (TP-WN321G) USB wifi adapter and have the driver installed inside WinXP. When I plug-in the wifi adapter, there is an option show "Ralink 802.11g WLAN [0101]" in the virtualbox's USB icon, tick on that option, the Device Manager able to detect the hardware which shows TP-Link, but when look into the properties, it says there is no driver was install.

I did try to install Ralink driver but still no luck. Just curious why my wifi adapter is TP-Link, but the option show Ralink?

May I know how can I emulate the wireless network inside WindowsXP?
